Your Front Door Is Locked. What About the Rest of Your Home?

Locking the front door is only part of home security. In this video, we walk through the other entry points around an ordinary house — back doors, garage doors, sliding doors, windows, and bedroom escape windows — and look at what makes each one vulnerable. You’ll see practical ways to strengthen these areas without creating a new problem: making it harder to get out during a fire or emergency. We also cover strike plates, deadbolts, garage emergency releases, sliding-door tracks, window locks, and the simple nighttime test every household should try. The goal is simple: make the ways in harder without making the ways out harder. Subscribe to Dan Cooper | Ready Home for practical home safety and emergency preparedness.
